Supervisors Smith aud Gordon in favor
of exemption. The board also refused 10

There can hardly be doubt that there is
something wrong about the Indian country.
There is not q jail anywhere within the
bounds of the Cherokee reservation. No
country can ever be at a high point of civil
cation in which there are no jails and nobody
does ANYTHING TO need them. We have always
been taught to lock upon Damon and Pythias
as one of the most beautiful stories OF friend
ship and honor Listen to this from the
Cherokee Indian, and ask yourself if it does
not give you some different opinion of him
An Indian was shot for killing another map
some time ago. A stranger in the territory
happened to be with the sheriff when the
news came that the appeal had been lost and
the sentence must be carried out.
Yes said the sheriff, 'I'll have to have
the poor fellow shot
Where is he! don't see any jail D"
Hes at home
"A prisoner under sentence of death at

Certainly do. He'll be here tomorrow.

And the merry stranger laughed. Next
| day lie was on hand to witness the sheriff 5
| discontinue But few minutes before the
hour a cavalcade' appeared in the distance. 1t
was headed by a manly young Indian and it
was made up of his friends They rode gal
lantly up and the young Indian surrendered

ment Furnishes Amusement in
Turning Out---Light Damages.

At 7:35 this morning the waterworks'
whistle footed an alarm of fire in the
Fifth ward. This gave the small boy the
usual liberty and delight of changing the
fire bells, and within five minutes the
chimes" were ringing all over the city.
The sound was somewhat inspiring and
terrifying, but not very musical to the re-
fined ear. Soon, however, the Rescue
cart was seen moving up Second avenue
on snail pace. Attached to the rope
which hauled the cart were three firemen
aud something less than dozen small
boys When the boys reached Union
of it on Jog, and reached the
scene of the fire just as the out
whistle was sounded. But the most
amusing feature of the department, was
the attempt of liveryman to get q
team of horses from Kerr's livery barn to
the Wide Awake hose house, a quarter OF
a mile away, TO haul the truck to the flre.
The horses were averse to going they
| objected to the heat probably - aud
showed no hesitancy in displaying their
dislike. Just below the Rock Island
house one of the horses made balk and
the small boy who had not caught on to
the cart had great sport in pelting the
unruly animal with sticks etc. Finally
the team was persuaded to go on to the
hose house, was bitched to the truck in
due season and started for the fire, but
the fire was out.
The fire was in the rear of two story
brick on the cast side of Twentieth
street and directly back of Kuox's under
taking establishment. The building is a
part of the Brashar estate and is occupied
by one of the Brashar families, all OF
whom are deaf and dumb The fire was
in the roof of the summer kitchen, but
owing to the prompt and effective work
of Chief Engineer Knox and a bucket
brigade the flames were subdued with
out doing any damage, though the
Rescucs laid a line of hose to the build
ing but there was no necessity of throw
ing, water. The cause was an improper
and defective tiue and Chief Knox gave
orders for its immediate removal.
The mutes were terribly frightened and
their frantic gesticulations in theil
efforts to describe where the fire
was and how it was started were pitiful
The damage Will not amount to So.
